Sitting on a completely ridiculous conference call right now thinking “I put my baby in daycare for THIS?”

Well that was scary
Cam’s cold is so bad that he was just gagging and choking.
I think he got everything out but he’s sleeping sitting up, with the humidifier on, Vicks Vaporub plug-in and me 6 inches away with my hand on his chest, for good measure.

Today has been a day. Between work stuff and Cam and I both being exhausted from being up all night last night, I have been ready for this day to end before it even started.
Matt has been working on a big project and for the past two weeks has been seeing Cam only briefly in the morning, and more often than not hasn’t been able to make it home before bedtime. This has made me have an...

Me: Shit hit the fan at this house today.
Matt: Sorry, but shit has to hit the toilet before we can talk about it.

“Can you pick me up some deodorant? I’ve been wearing yours.”
– Matt, who had apparently been wearing Secret the past two days. I feel like I should start a blog called Things My Husband Says because he comes up with some real gems.

Feeling fainty during my conference. My Spanx are so tight I think they’re cutting off the blood flow to my head.

Fabulous Quick and Easy Recipes
Help Tumblrs!
My mother-in-law will be here Mon-Wed to watch Cam while I’m at work conferences. I want to breeze home and impress her with fabulous dinners and let her see that I’m a super working mom that can do it all.
The reality is since I’ve had Cam, the main dinner choices around here have been Rasin Bran or Frosted Mini Wheats and I’m sure as hell not serving...

“The only time he wasn’t screaming like I was murdering him was when he was...”
– Matt about his day with Cam. I am now left to wonder why my baby had been so unhappy all week (screeching and refusing to take a bottle from anyone) and if I helped create this monster.

Daddy Daycare
I have a work event today, so Matt is in charge of Cam. This is the first time they’ve spent over an hour alone together.
Normally I wouldn’t be worried, but Cam has a bad cold had to be picked up early three times this week from daycare for non-stop screeching and refusing his bottles.
Really hoping for Matt’s sake Cam can keep it together until at least 3pm.

Do you know what happens if you blow off work and go to yoga? Well if you’re me:
While your phone is off during yoga you miss a call that your son is having a VERY hard day in daycare. You’re told you don’t need to get him, but the screaming/screeching in the background indicates that you do.
When you get your little angel home and to sleep, you pour yourself a bowl of...

Win or Fail?
I dropped Cam off at daycare, then spent about 45 minutes catching up with an old friend in the parking lot. I figured if I’m already this late for work I might as well go to yoga at 10am.

It makes me so happy when I remember to set the coffee pot to automatic and wake up to the smell of coffee. I feel like there’s someone downstairs brewing it just for me. I need to remember to do this everyday.

Happy Patriots Day!
I’m headed into Boston to pre-game before the Marathon / Red Sox game.
It’s been a long time since I’ve had multiple adult beverages so I’ll probably be pretty tipsy by 10am. Can’t wait!

Shopping for clothes is completely different now. Every time I look at a dress or top now my first thought is “how fast can I get my boob out of that?”.
The joys of breastfeeding.

I ran* for the first time post baby today. 3 miles felt great, it’s probably not going to feel this great tomorrow.
*I use the term ran very loosely here. It was more of a jog/walk.

Cam had a sad day at daycare today. They said they thought he was just suffering from a case of The Monday Blues. Me too, Bud. Me too.
I just lost my cool because Matt doesn’t help with Cam at all. He’s now wearing the Moby and singing to him. I’d take a picture, but I don’t want to press my luck.
